Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 191072" data-attributes="member: 36777">So just to add to [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER]'s excellent response, I think you have already identified quite well some of the firms that are great in PE and have smaller trainees intakes. Besides those, and the ones Ram mentioned, I would also take a look at:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Paul, Weiss: though a new player in the London market, Paul, Weiss is arguably the most entrepreneurial firm in recent times. Capitalizing on a golden opportunity, it has poaches some of the top rainmaker partners from rivals like Kirkland and has expanded in London at an unprecedented scale. It also has very deep institutional ties with Apollo, a major global private equity firm. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gibson Dunn: the firm has a smallish trainee intake and besides their expertise in PE, they are well-regarded for their corporate M&A work as well. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ropes & Gray: a very PE-focused firm and also known to put a lot of emphasis on early responsibility. Ropes & Gray has also enjoyed a decade of very high growth, even compared to big law rivals. </li> </ul>Besides this, since you expressed an interest in general corporate M&A I wanted to address this point as well, especially since this has historically been a harder field for US firms to establish themselves in:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skadden: if a more medium-sized trainee intake is not an issue, Skadden might be a top pick for you. The firm has been one of the pioneers of strategic M&A historically and has always enjoyed a leading reputation in the field, topping both total and average deal value rankings both in London and globally. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cleary Gottlieb: the firm is well-recognized for its M&A work, and is especially know for its internationalism. As one of the original New York firms, Cleary was one of the first to expand internationally after identifying the growth of cross-border mandates. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Davis Polk: a core member of the 'white shoe' club of New York firms, Davis Polk has always been know for exceptional corporate expertise, both on the M&A and on the ECM side. The firm has recently been seeking growth in London, as in the last 12 month it hired several top partners from rivals such as A&O Sherman, Paul Hastings, and Sidley Austin. At the present moment, Davis Polk has a smaller but premium and high quality-focused corporate M&A practice in London, consistently topping rankings for average deal value and revenue per partner/revenue per lawyer. It also did a number of big deals in the Technology, Media, and Communications area.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sullivan & Cromwell: a very strong player in M&A generally and the leading firm representing S&P100 companies in public M&A. It has also historically been among the most profitable firms in the world, consistently achieving top 5 average PEP rankings in the last 10 years, which indicates a strong business model. </li> </ul></blockquote>
